I was having a convo with one of my best friends, whom lives in Seattle, about a hot dog craving. My sister celebrated her birthday at the park and we had hot dogs. Ever since, I've been on a hot dog kick.

My friend mentioned how she wished she was a bit closer to downtown, so she could get herself a Seattle Dog. Which made me think...why don't we have hot dog carts? New York, Chicago, and Seattle are cities, that come to mind, with hot dog carts.

Unless I'm mistaken and we do, but i have yet to see one.

Also, the people posted outside Petco, or other venues, after games don't count. They're just temp glizzy vendors.

Hi! Has anyone gone to the Gaylord Pacific Resort? Going to check it out soon on a day pass and was wondering if anyone has any recommendations on what to eat at the pool and which restaurants/dishes you’ve liked or would avoid. Thank you!

I've been drafted into taking someone to the airport about that time. I figure I might as well get something out of it it possible.

I’m planning a week in San Diego this summer with my wife and we’ll be staying near La Jolla, but we don’t mind driving anywhere if it’s worth it.

Looking for a couple of nicer spots (not super formal, just memorable, great food, good vibe, maybe a view), ideally with good vegetarian options.

Open to anything. Just trying to avoid the overly hyped places and pick a few that are actually worth it.

Would really appreciate a few strong recommendations.

So I finally made it to Contodo Fresh Mexican Eats and got the Mar y Tierra burrito. Although I saw a lot of recommendations for the Skyline burrito I am not a fan of fries in my burrito so I got this one instead. It was outstanding, and was loaded with well seasoned beef, and enough shrimp to call it a surf and turf. I know it looks a little wet in my pics, but I had already opened it up and added all three of their salsas inside before I sliced it, all very good and the orange one is spicy, I think habanero. It was huge and made 2 solid meals for me. You can see my 8" chefs knife next to it before I cut it. That thing was almost a 1' long, and not a skinny burrito.

I highly recommend from my limited experience there. I look forward to trying more of their menu in the future.

Hoping the Reddit community can assist with some options for a girl’s night. The toddlers will be at home with their dads, and we’re looking for a very child unfriendly vibe as a break from the norm. We’re thinking nice wine, food toddlers would never eat, and some good vibes. We’re all in PB or Bay Park, she looking for options in other neighborhoods or North County. And there are only 3 of us.

Any/all recommendations appreciated!! :) This is long overdue.

My plan is to visit in July. I would like to know if there are any hotels close to the beach but within driving distance to the food scene. Trying to visit Hodads supposedly it's fantastic. Yes other places will be on the list but that is one of them.

However, any suggestions of hotels near the beach at a fair price. Budget $100-400 per night. Thanks for the suggestions.

Searching for a new Chinese restaurant to go to. I’ve been to Chins and Shanghai Saloon (Dumpling Inn). Anywhere else you would recommend?

I pride myself in being a good googler and I am DYING to try Fan Tuan (Taiwanese rice roll) in San Diego but when I google it I see zilch. I will literally go to an old woman's house to buy Fan Tuan off of her.

Does anyone know if Fan Tuan even exists in SD????

for specifics: i'm talking about bò chiên bơ, which is thinly sliced beef cooked on a grill and wrapped in a roll. in orange county, you can find a vietnamese restaurant that will serve the entire settup for you (with a grill or with a whole baked catfish), but its harder to find places like this in san diego.

is there anything like this in the county? you can get gỏi cuốn anywhere, but bò chiên bơ is much harder...

Hello guys I was just wondering which spot has ample seating with lower wait times. Anywhere central or close to central would be nice.(Approx 10 people) 2hr wait time gets kind of ridiculous lol

We will be visiting in early May with our two kids 4 & 6 years old. What are some good family restaurant recommendations? We are not specific to a location and willing to drive. Looking for anything fun, great scenery, or must dos! Thanks !
